CORNER-BBIDLE-EING SUPPORT.

Application filed September 11, 1923.

This invention relates to bridle rings, and more particularly t-o corner bridle rings used to carry such wires as bridle wires passing around the outside corners ot buildings.

rlfhe object of the invention is to provide an improved means tor properly mounting a` single bridle ring in such a position that it will carry the wires well away trom the corner oi the building. Applicants device has the following advantages: (l) a single ring supported by the device carries the wires well away from the corner ot the building; (2) the support is simpler in construction and stronger than similar devices used heretofore; and (3) the support is so formed as to be tree ot liability ot breakage due to sharp bends.

Applicants support consists of a single strip, preferably oi' metal, bent so as to form (l) an arc about the corner, on the outer portion of which are the ring is mounted, and (2) two legs, one on either side ot the are, designed to tit against the walls which form the corner.

Applicants invention will be more elearly understood when the following detailed description of one desirable embodiment ot the invention is read in connection with the accompanying drawing. Figures l and 2 ot the drawing show a top plan view and an outer end elevation, respectively, ot applicants support with the bridle ring attached, and Fig. 3 shows a side elevation ot the outer end of the support with the ring attached. Lilie numerals of reference in the several figures o'l the drawing designate cor` responding parts oi the device.

l/Vith reference to the details of the drawtiti Serial No. 6552A 19.

ing, the single strip is bent so that its middle portion torms the arc l and its extremities form the legs 2 and 3, lying at right angles to each other and designed to tit against the two walls forming the corner. rllhe holes 1land 5 are designed to receive nails, screws` or other means for securing the legs 2 and 3, respectively, to the walls. The arc l carries'two outwardly extending ianges G and 7, which form a channel to receive the wires. The ring 8, which is a bridle ring ot any suitable torni, is mounted on the outer portion of the arc 1. In the drawing the ring is shown with hooked ends inserted through openings in the flanges 6 and 7.

lt is readily seen that applicants support enables a single bridle ring to carry the wires well away from the corner of the building.

lt is understood that the above detailed description presents one desirable form of applicants support merely tor purposes ot illustration, and does not limit the scope of the invention, which is determined by the appended claim.

7 hat is claimed. is:

A corner bridle ring support consisting of a single strip, the ends ot said strip torming two legs at an angle each to the other, and the intermediate portion of said strip forming an arc adapted to carry-in a position substantially on the imaginary line bisecting the angle formed by the legs-means tor directly supporting the wires.

In testimony whereof, l have signed my name to this speeiiication this 10th day of September 1923.

GEORGE B. GRDON.
